Radio Iodine

Radio Iodine was an American alternative rock band from St. Louis, Missouri, United States. It was formed in 1993 as 9 Days Wonder by Tony Persyn, his wife Ellen and drummer Steven “Stitch” Held. [1] After another band threatened to sue over the name, the band changed its name to Radio Iodine.[1] It signed to Radioactive Records, which released a self-titled EP in 1996. Radioactive Records chairman Gary Kurfirst moved the band to his new subsidiary label Radiouniverse, and the band's 1997 album Tiny Warnings was the label's inaugural release.[2]
